    And even reconsider long held viewpoints. I work with a classic conservative but in the past 6 years he’s started to come around a little. Me, another genx standard construction worker, having a trans kid and just talking has softened his crusty ass quite a bit. Doubt it’s changed his vote but he wouldn’t openly disrespect my kid now

    I don’t understand a lot about human physiology and just accepting that other people are different than I am has allowed me to live and let live.

    Intolerant of intolerance though, speaking up used to make me uncomfortable but now I almost revel in it. I encourage any future ally to just start speaking up, baby steps at first. “Hey, that’s not cool.” “Well, my relative is gay and they are a great person.”
